Liu Shiba looked at Cao Xiong strangely and said in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
Cao Xiong wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitated:
"Nothing, I just thought of some other interesting things."
But at this time, Zhu Yingtai stared in surprise and said:
"Little Master, Lao Cao, come here and take a look..."
Cao Xiong looked panicked at this time and asked anxiously:
"What shape are those two mirrors? What are they made of? Please return them immediately and stop looking in the mirrors."
At this time, the gray stone door at the end of the passage suddenly rose up without warning, and it was pitch black inside.
Zhu Yingtai was stunned for a while, then immediately picked up the military thorn, turned around and stared at the opened stone door.
When everyone saw this, they were all shocked at the same time. They all picked up their weapons and stood ready, fearing that some mutant man-eating rats or terracotta warriors and other monsters with incredible combat prowess would come out.
Standing outside the stone gate, Zhu Yingtai did not dare to move rashly!
It was dark and silent behind the stone door, and the light from the miner's lamp seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness.
Liu Shiqi said:
"Could it be that when someone looks in the mirror, the stone door opens? Isn't this mechanism too sophisticated?"
Ailian Hu looked solemn, and it could be seen from his expression that he had never heard of such a delicate mechanism.
Liu Shiba raised his hands to signal to the people behind him to stop where they were, and then he led Cao Xiong, Lao Hei and Bi Yan to Zhu Yingtai's side cautiously.
Cao Xiong and Liu Shiba looked at the recess in the wall at the same time, and were stunned!
There is an ancient mirror inlaid in the recessed wall on both sides of the passage. The two ancient mirrors face each other and look very weird and evil!
The ancient mirror was made of a dark metal, and there was a cloud of black air faintly covering the ancient mirror.
The shape of the mirror is also quite peculiar. It is not a round mirror that was common in ancient times, but an extremely rare square half-length mirror, about half a meter wide and one meter high!
Under the ancient mirror, there are several difficult-to-understand hieroglyphics carved on the stone wall of the passage. The mirror itself is simple and unpretentious, without any decoration. The mirror surface is smooth and reflects clear figures.
The scenes reflected in the two ancient mirrors made Liu Shiba, Cao Xiong, and Zhu Yingtai stunned...
The ancient mirror against the wall on the left actually clearly reflected everything in the passage from an incredible angle, including the figures of Ning Min'er, Zheng Weida and others who were stopped in place!
But everyone's faces looked like reflections in the water, as if they were looking at flowers in a fog.
The three of them turned to look at the ancient mirror mounted on the wall on the right. What was reflected in the mirror was the faces of Liu Shiba and the others. The three of them were reflected very clearly, with a feeling that they were sharpened after taking pictures with their mobile phones.
Moreover, the expressions of the three people were constantly changing, ranging from joy, anger, sorrow and joy to being angry and about to cry.
Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong couldn't help but look at each other, with expressions of confusion, fear, and uneasiness.
Cao Xiong frowned at this time and moved his body. The picture shown in the ancient mirror also changed somewhat, and his smiling face turned into a crying face...
So weird...
This situation made Liu Shiba, Cao Xiong, and Zhu Yingtai feel chills on their spines at the same time. They felt that there was a faint wind coming from inside the stone door...
Liu Shiba had goosebumps all over his body and gritted his teeth and said:
"The thing reflected in this ancient mirror is really weird. What the hell is this?"
Cao Xiong was also very nervous at this time. He frowned and fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, he relaxed his brows and said with a frown:
"The old man has not seen records of two ancient mirrors like this in the Qin Dynasty in ancient books. It seems that these two ancient mirrors should be ancient products before the Qin Dynasty."
At this time, Ning Min'er, Ailian Hu, Sun Wenming, Zheng Weida, Lu Xiaolin and others also came over in surprise.
When the five people saw the two strange ancient mirrors, they were also shocked and dumbfounded.
Zheng Weida looked at the mirrors on both sides and found that the mining hat, clothes, and the army engineer shovel he was wearing were all very clear, but his face was blurry and very strange.
Moreover, Zheng Weida also discovered by chance that the light from the miner's lamp seemed to be absorbed by the ancient mirror and became very dim when it hit the ancient mirror.
Zheng Weida looked at Liu Shiba nervously and said in fear:
"The light of the miner's lamp has been absorbed? What is this?"
Liu Shiba shook his head in confusion, saying that he also knew nothing!
Ning Min'er's face was full of fear at this time, and she was holding on to Liu Shiba's arm and wouldn't let go...
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth, frowned and thought for a while before explaining:
"There are many precious mirrors in Chinese legends, but none of them have the same description as these two. Although the old man has some guesses, he can't be sure. Let me try again..."
Then, Cao Xiong knelt down and looked carefully at the words on the stone wall of the ancient mirror. As long as he could understand them, he would be able to find some clues.
However, these ancient texts were different from the small seal scripts of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and were very difficult to understand. Cao Xiong had a sad face and could not understand the meaning for a long time.
Zheng Weida looked ferocious at this time, just clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said:
"The two ancient mirrors look exactly opposite. The one on the left looks blurry, but the one on the right looks particularly clear and sharp.
I don’t know what this mirror is made of. I don’t believe that there was such a thing as a mirror thousands of years ago, and it was also a magic mirror! It’s really amazing..."
Then, Zheng Weida added another sentence:
"However, if you look at the faces reflected in the ancient mirror on the left, they are blurry, but the faces on the right are very clear, with different expressions.
No matter how you look at it, something is wrong, and this strangeness is indescribably weird..."
Sun Wenming said directly:
"Look, the expression in the mirror on the right seems to be changing. Sometimes he laughs, and sometimes he cries. It's scary. Yes, it's just like a funny mirror!"
Ning Min'er bit her cherry lips and said strangely:
"Could it be that this ancient mirror can reflect various human emotions?"
Everyone was confused by these two ancient mirrors. They couldn't find any clues or guess what their purpose was. On the contrary, they didn't dare to go any further.
In the dark underground, you must take every step step by step. Before you understand it, you must not make a wrong step. Dead people are not fun!
Zhu Yingtai was simple-minded and stared at his eyes. He actually took out the hand cannon from his waist and said with a ferocious smile:
"These two weird mirrors get weirder the more I look at them, will they suck my soul away?
My suggestion is to blow them up with one shot, because they are all weird, spooky and weird stuff."
Zhu Yingtai, like Liu Shiba, didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. He just couldn't figure out the mystery of the ancient mirror, so he said it a little impatiently.
This powerful mutated old woman became angry, and the face in the ancient mirror on the right became extremely ferocious. It looked very scary at first glance, especially those black teeth, which looked very penetrating...
When Liu Shiba heard that Zhu Yingtai wanted to break the ancient mirror, he smiled bitterly and said:
"The legends about soul-sucking and soul-sucking are all fabricated by man. They are not true at all, and I don't believe them either.
However, these two mirrors are indeed strange. We must know their uses before we can move forward.
Moreover, it is too late to preserve such a precious cultural relic. If you still want to smash it, quickly put away the cannon. If the passage collapses, you have to explain it here."
Zhu Yingtai muttered angrily, put away the hand cannon with an angry look on his face, and ran away, thinking about the military thorn...
At this time, Sun Wenming, who had never spoken much, suddenly said:
"Old Cao, I remembered an ancient legend from my hometown. I wonder if it has something to do with these two mirrors..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xiong said curiously:
"Tell me about it?"
Sun Wenming was a little hesitant and said strangely:
"I'm uneducated. It's just nonsense. Don't take it seriously!"
Liu Shiba stared helplessly:
"Tell me, there's no way we can stand here, let's brainstorm ideas!"
Sun Wenming asked Liu Shiba for a Big China Light, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"This is also a superstition I heard from some old people. My sister and I lived in the countryside when we were young.
In the village, there was an old man who liked to tell stories about ghosts and gods. I remember there was an old man in the village who was a fortune teller and Feng Shui practitioner. He liked to tell stories about ghosts and ghosts to us little kids.
When I saw this mirror, I remembered a story the old man told. He said that after a person dies, his ghost first goes to the underworld and looks in a mirror. I think this story is very similar to our current situation."
After hearing this, Cao Xiong pondered for a moment, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and then he suddenly realized:
“At the beginning, I kept focusing on the Historical Records and Classic of Mountains and Seas, wondering what era this ancient mirror was from, but ignored the rest.
After you reminded me, I suddenly thought that this ancient mirror was something from the legend, and I was sure of it!"
Liu Shiba said in confusion:
"Old Cao, what kind of mirror is it? Don't lie!"
Cao Xiong smiled triumphantly and said:
"Sun Wenming is talking about a part of the description of the underworld in ancient Chinese books and unofficial histories.
According to folklore, there are eighteen levels of hell, which are further divided into ten halls of hell. The fourth level in the eighteenth level of hell is called Nie Jing, and is controlled by King Qin Guang of the first of the ten halls of hell.
Legend has it that there is a mirror of evil in this level of hell, which can reflect all the evil deeds done by each ghost in the upper world without any mistakes.
Anyone who has committed sins in the upper world and has done more evil than good will go to the hell of the evil mirror after they arrive in the underworld. Their sins will be shown in the mirror, and then they will be sent to different hells to suffer their sins."
Sun Wenming seemed to recall it at this time and added:
"Yes! The old man was talking about the Mirror of Evil. I remembered it. The old man said that there are seven characters engraved in front of the Mirror of Evil: There are no good people in front of the Mirror of Evil!
No matter what evil deeds a person has done during his lifetime, how he conceals it, or how he escapes punishment, as long as he takes a look at the evil mirror in the underworld, his original shape will immediately appear."
Liu Shiba said strangely:
"Could this be the evil mirror platform?"
Cao Xiong shook his head and said:
"The mirror platform is one foot high, and the mirror is surrounded by about ten people and hangs to the east. Some say that the mirror platform is larger and is just a mirror.
There are two ancient mirrors here. They are definitely not evil mirrors. It should be that Qin Shihuang or Xu Fu found two magical ancient mirrors and placed them here to build a false evil mirror platform to scare people."
Cao Xiong frowned and thought for a while, then added:
"These two ancient mirrors have been in a pair for a long time, but they feel like they have the principle of light refraction, which is similar to a magic mirror."
When everyone heard this, they thought that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who had been dead for so many years, could still let Xu Fu set up a mirror device in advance to scare people. This shows how terrifying this emperor is!
Although these two ancient mirrors are not evil mirrors from hell, they must be hiding something fishy!
Thinking of the fear, an inexplicable chill came over the group's backs.
Finally, Liu Shiba calmed down his inner uneasiness and said calmly:
"Enter the stone gate!"
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking and walked toward the stone gate in silence.
Before everyone walks into the stone gate, they will subconsciously take a look at the ancient mirror on the right!
Among the eight people in the group, when one person passed by the ancient mirror, the ancient mirror reflected that person's face with a distorted face and ferocious blood-red eyes, like a bloodthirsty ghost...
And no one saw all this!
Only Lao Hei noticed something different. He looked at the ancient mirror strangely, then looked at the man's back, and a golden light flashed in his eyes...
